It looked German to me, but I haven't seen it before.  :(

Ostwald?
Fritz Ostwald built a threewheeler with rear steering in 1935 and the Röhr already featured (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=4491.0). Do  you know of other cars by him or was it just a guess?

It was a guess based on a chassis picture I have of the Ostwald threewheeler. Now I think it never was intended to get in fully bodied shape.

Yes I have it in bigger size with background. I'll post it later.
According to my source he made different prototypes of this threewheeler until 1945, so I guessed it possibly could be one of them

I have a picture of it with a body looking similar to an open-bodied Framo Stromer.
The puzzle car looks postwar to me though.

I´ve got the builder´s name now, too.

It´s indeed been built in the Berlin area and has been featured in a September 1952 magazine.

It's a German one-off built by Heinrich Kropmann in 1952. It's name is Falkensee (named after the place where Kropmann lived, Falkensee near Berlin).
Engine is a 2-stroke 200 cc IFA-DKW.
